Product Description

This book asnwers all the questions about nutritional and herbal medicine for optimum health during pregnancy. Beginning with God's design for health and nutrition, the following is covered in detail: how to eat for a healthy baby, which herbs are safe and which are dangerous during pregnancy, and the best ways to minimize those times of nausea and discomfort. Shonda Parker provides information to guide the pregnant mom and her baby to good health with a balanced approach to herbal and traditional medicine.

A broad range of information and research, coupled with years of experience has emerged to create this health and nutrition book that encompasses far more than the health needs of present and future pregnant women. The author's warm, personal style, combined with an educational powerhouse of information makes The Naturally Healthy Pregnancy essential to a healthful, joy-filled pregnancy. A treasured gift!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best all natural pregnancy book, November 7, 2005
This review is from: Naturally Healthy Pregnancy (Paperback)
I have read about six different all natural pregnancy books, and this one is the best. First of all, if you are looking to birth in a hospital and are against the use of herbs, this book is not for you. Shonda is very well educated in the use of herbs for she is a family herbalist and a certified childbirth educator. This definately comes through in this book.
Shonda breaks the book into sections: before conception; and the importance of diet, during pregnancy; all the discomforts and herbs that will ease these things, during labor, and postpartum. She even has a section on if there is a miscarriage. she is very sensitve to this issue having experienced these herself. She also lists some herbs to help with previous miscarriage.
At the end, you can find tips on good family planning if you choose to go that route. Our family believes that God is our birth controller. Excellant book if a homebirth or a midwife is what you desire. God bless you and your future deliveries!

3.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful women's resource, February 3, 2001
This review is from: Naturally Healthy Pregnancy (Paperback)
I found this book to be a great help to me before my pregnancies as well as during and after. The Naturally Healthy Pregnancy has a great deal of information about herbs and natural methods for dealing with women's health issues and especially those of pregnant women and being a new mommy.

I particularly like the way the author writes, very warm and personal and easy to read and I enjoyed the personal pictures. I like the way the book is laid out and the information is easy to find.

My own midwife buys this book by the case and gives it to all her pregnant clients. I think this book is a must!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a very helpful book., March 30, 2010
This review is from: Naturally Healthy Pregnancy (Paperback)
Since I am in my first pregnancy, I have been trying to filter through which books on pregnancy and child rearing are necessary to read and which should be left on the shelf. On the recommendation of a friend, I borrowed this book and read it through in a couple weeks. I found it full of such invaluable information that I am going to buy it for myself! As some other people stated, it has bonus info that does not directly relate to pregnancy, although a pregnant woman could certainly be suffering from any of those ailments listed. I appreciate Shonda's pleasant, objective writing style and how she brings all into focus with Scripture and Biblical teaching. I believe that to truly understand one's body, one must believe and accept the God who made us! Her obvious knowledge and skill as an herbalist is definitely evident here, as well. This book is a must read for a Christian woman endeavoring to have a healthy, balanced pregnancy and labor.

I give the book 5 stars for vital info, easy reading and a refreshing perspective! Now I just have to go find one of my own...
